"Each guest has different designs in their own 'looking glass,' providing an opportunity for them to talk, switch frames, and so on," the Blue Spark team explains. "Not only is it an exquisite display, but it allows an incredible talking-point before dinner even begins."

Blue Spark's Heather Pilcher, CSEP, CEO and executive producer, invites TSE attendees to “peer through the looking glass.” "We created the looking glass elements from plastic optic paper that created 3D hearts in rainbow colors when looking at the fairy lights in the centerpiece," she explains.

Chosen by the Special Events Advisory Board as this year's winner, "Muse" from MGM Resorts Event Productions keys on artist Jeff Koons' iconic "Balloon Dog" to study the creative process.

MGM Resorts Event Productions' floral designers Lori Broglia and Angela de Guzman create a color transformation to inspire by moving through values of red flowing into yellow and finishing with blue.
